8 ICON SLOTS CLOSED! And a little help please!

General
Hello everyone~
I'm having serious trouble setting commission prices. I'm from deviant art where people are hesitant to pay $10 for my chibis, but you guys here pay like 5x that for my chibi ych (which is near or at min wage like an actual job, so i'm very happy about that!). I have no idea what to set my prices at! I need your help! ;v; I'm scared to raise them because I dont want people to think i'm greedy or anything ;A; I just want prices that are more worth my time, ya know? My chibis take about 4-6 hours, my thigh ups and full bodies can take anywhere from 7-15 hours x.x It depends on the character and background. Can you guys suggest prices for chibis, thigh-ups, and full body? What prices do you think are fair? Previously my chibis were $10, thigh up $12, and full body $15. I'm thinking about making separate prices for "simple" characters and "detailed" characters. Your feedback would be very much appreciated <33
ps: Does anyone else have 1 submission stuck in their submission notification thingy? I turn SFW off so i can see everything in my inbox, but NOTHING is there, but it always says I have 1 submission to see. Its been like that for over a week and its driving me nuts because i'm a neat freak and I like everything clean xD. Its odd.
ANNNNYWHO-
I'm going to be opening 8 more icon slots! (10 if i include people i'm waiting for payment from for last time!)
I'll also be uploading a new YCH auction so keep your eyes peeled! (ew thats such a gross saying LOL)
Now, no promises, but I like to pretend I have some type of scheduled. LOL I'm thinking about opening 10 icon slots and one ych each week. That means I'll get 2 icons done a day and leaves 2 days to work solely on the YCH <: Again, no promises though haha ;v;
ON TO THE ICON SLOTS-
$10/1000 devart points, as usual
1 icon per slot
You can claim more than one slot
I'll send you a WIP before I animate it so you can make sure everything is okay!
My paypal is Sarahkate1993@live.com
I ALSO MAKE 50x50 ICONS! (kinda like this http://coffeebuns.deviantart.com/ar.....cons-455577746 ) I'll make the animation match the larger ones <: THEY ARE $8/800 POINTS!

Yum! I want one <3I'll note you my references!~ Can you wait one day or two to be paid? No need to start before receiving ayment.
I think you're at a good start for your icon prices. $10 - $15 for one seems reasonable due to the fact that it's pixel work, very smoothly done in color gradient, and animated on top of that.
For your chibi art, I'd think a good starting point would be about $10 - $12+? The price would raise by complexity / color amount (flats, full color) I would think? Considering you said how long it takes you to complete one, and the detail that seems to go into them. Chibi's are usually supposed to be simple little things, but I see how much work you cram into them.
For Thigh-Up anf Full Bodies, I'd say maybe $15 - $20 as a starting point, and raise from there just like the chibi's. The more color / complexity, the higher the price would go. A few pieces I've seen in your gallery are worth at least $30 - $40+ alone. Your lines are clean, your coloring is clean, and your style is attractive (to my personal taste and eye, anyhow).
I apologize if none of that is helpful to you at all. This is simply my two cents and I'm not exactly eloquent with words. ^^;
Just a thought of course.
Can I get the Last spot for the icon? ;w;
It's the only way to get rid of the annoying notification marker
